Myopia in Storage Innovation

In an industry where there is a plethora of storage selections it can be difficult to see through the cloudy matrix of options and new innovations that are on the horizon. Instead of having a short-sighted focus, this webinar will bring to light the innovations that are happening now that will reshape the storage industry for years to come.

Web Site Monitoring using SiteScope the WebScript Monitor Tool and a LoadRunner Script

Web Site Monitoring using SiteScope the WebScript Monitor Tool and a LoadRunner Script: Join us for this presentation of the power of a SiteScope Webscript to monitor your websites in a production environment to provide real time checking on a website including interactions ( login, screen validation, etc). Learn how this will also generate alerts to the OPS team when something is wrong.

Surviving OMW to OMi Migration: The customer with a well-developed OMW-based monitoring solution was faced with a challenge to migrate to OMi10 due to OMW obsolescence. Their old monitoring system was deeply integrated, highly customized and exposed to the outside world (their partners and customers) on a 24/7 basis. Migration challenges included:

Integrating your Micro Focus tools with other SDLC tools can bridge gaps and facilitate far better communication paths than emails and excel sheets alone. Sure, it would be great to have everyone under the same umbrella, but that’s not always the reality we live in. So why not allow other teams to work on the same Micro Focus ALM Requirement, Test, or Defect from their own SDLC tool? I’ll show you how you can set up a basic Defect synchronization between Micro Focus ALM and Atlassian JIRA for example in as little as 5 minutes using a product from Micro Focus partner Tasktop called Tasktop Hub.

According to the 2017-18 World Quality Report, 88% of companies surveyed are using or experimenting with DevOps, and that number is growing. Making the transformation is not easy, and it’s made even more complicated by tools that aren’t integrated with each other, do not communicate with each other, and do not offer end-to-end visibility into and collaboration across the DevOps pipeline.

Attend this webinar to hear about the DevOps Suite, and how it can help your team accelerate application delivery at high quality and scale. We’ll also show you an end-to-end demo of the products. Here is what you will learn:

• Challenges facing organizations making an agile or DevOps transformation today
• Why it’s critical for organizations to have DevOps tools that share data and insights with each other as well as being tightly integrated with the pipeline
• How the Micro Focus DevOps Suite provides you with lifecycle and
pipeline management, continuous functional and performance testing
from the cloud, and production monitoring for continuous assessment

Everything you need to know about the Micro Focus ITSMA Containers Concept

Containers are here and they are the best way to deploy, maintain and upgrade software. What are containers? How are they deployed? How is the software different on containers than traditional platforms? Why did HPE/Micro Focus decide on a containerization approach to their ITSM suite? Tune in and find out why containers are the deployment method of the future and how to transition your existing ITSM suite from your Linux or Windows environment to a Containerized environment.

Business pressures are driving many IT organizations toward faster release cadence, Lean, and more Agile-like development processes. Many groups have developed processes and practices that already work very effectively, without requiring significant change. But to succeed in a bimodal world, many customers are looking at multiple tools to support newer practices and Continuous Integration (CI). Micro Focus ALM customers already have access to the tools and capabilities to succeed.

Join this webinar:

To understand what’s new in the Micro Focus ALM portfolio
To see all the new capabilities that help you unlock your existing investment. To view a demonstration of the latest capabilities in the ALM platform, including the integrations between ALM and ALM Octane and the Development, Testing, and Build environments

Benchmarking storage performance is both an art and a science. In this 5th installment of the SNIA Ethernet Storage Forum’s “Storage Performance Benchmarking” series, our experts take on optimizing performance for various workloads.

What is Digital Experiences (DX) within the Digital Performance Lifecycle (DPL)

In the digital economy, every business is a software business, and the software landscape is changing forever. The traditional approach to providing business value through lengthy plan-build-test-deploy cycles can no longer deliver value in an increasingly competitive, consumer-centric landscape. Merely compressing these cycles through adopting iterative or agile methods does not address challenges organizations face in terms of innovation, speed to market, quality and resilience.

We will discuss how Virtual Table Server (VTS), in days of Mercury Interactive, was the often-overlooked repository for dynamically updated real-time test data. Even after a revamp and relaunch in 2014, many people still don't use it, but they should. Richard's VTS demo will help you to get value from this great add-on for LoadRunner and Performance Center.
